tertiary clarifier Articles

A Biochemical Contact Oxidation Film (BCOF) technique was piloted for the treatment of a secondary effluent of the Jilin Chemical Industry Corporation (JCIC). The original pulse contact flocculation clarifier used for the tertiary treatment was not performing to the discharge standards. Results show that NH3-N concentration was decreased from 30 mg/L to 15 mg/L, COD concentration was decreased ...

The City of Hamilton is faced with increasing pressure from growth and development, greater wet weather treatment needs, and stringent effluent targets. In order to address these challenges, the City of Hamilton has initiated an ambitious program to identify alternative upgrade options for the Woodward Avenue WWTP. One of the alternatives identified for further investigation is a tertiary ...

Research was undertaken to calibrate and verify the Aquifas semi-empirical and biofilm 1D models against a full scale Integrated Fixed-Film Activated Sludge (IFAS) system. The model was then used to evaluate and identify alternatives to upgrade the performance of tertiary IFAS system and Moving (mobile) Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) systems that could minimize volume required for nitrogen removal. ...

Wastewater is an important source of pathogenic enteric microorganisms in surface water and a major contaminating agent of drinking water. Although primary and secondary wastewater treatments reduce the numbers of microorganisms in wastewater, significant numbers of microbes can still be present in the effluent. The aim of this study was to test the feasibility of tertiary treatment for ...

ABSTRACTLaboratory and full-scale experiments were performed in order to investigate the effect of mixing, as represented by the mean velocity gradient, G-value (Grady et al, 1999), and time dynamics in chemical phosphorus removal. The results prove that the chemical reactions occurring during phosphorus removal upon addition of trivalent metal salts (Fe, Al) cannot be described with the ...

ABSTRACTThe Western Virginia Water Authority (WVWA) operates a 42 mgd wastewater treatment facility which treats flows from the City of Roanoke and adjoining municipalities. In recent years, the WVWA WPCP has experienced peak wet weather flows exceeding 140 mgd, well above the plant’s existing peak flow capacity. Under these conditions, the plant is forced to rely heavily on flow ...

ABSTRACTThe Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County (Districts) operate seven tertiary water reclamation plants (WRPs) with a combined treatment capacity over 200 million gallons per day (MGD). Chloramination is used at these WRPs for effluent disinfection. It was recently discovered that chloramination results in the formation of N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), a compound with high ...

ABSTRACTPermitted at 6.4 mgd on an annual average day basis, the City of Avondale Wastewater Treatment Plant currently employs Nitrification/Denitrification process to produce effluent with maximum total nitrogen of 10 mg/L. The process consists of Aeration Basins followed by Secondary Clarifiers to treat the screened influent after the grit removal. On the solids handling side, the Wasted ...

ABSTRACTThe Little Falls Run Wastewater Treatment Facility began experiencing operational difficulties with the dual-bay traveling bridge filter process as flows approached the rated capacity for the filters. Although initially the Utilities Department staff intended to duplicate the original filter process and thereby double the capacity, the recent introduction of a cloth media filter product ...

Over the past 10 years, MBR technology has advanced to become a serious contender to conventional wastewater treatment technologies, and is now considered a proven technology. MBR systems with submerged membrane modules offer two main advantages: A significantly improved effluent quality and a substantially smaller footprint.Membrane Biological Reactor (MBR) technology is a simple, yet effective ...

The increasingly more stringent phosphorus (P) discharge limits, which are below the concentrations reliably achievable with currently available technologies, demand for better understanding of phosphorus removal mechanisms. This study investigated the compositional fractions of phosphorus (P) in various effluents as well as the efficacy of different levels of treatment processes for removing ...

INTRODUCTION In May 2013, Pure Aqua, Inc. successfully manufactured and supplied an microfiltration pilot system to a membrane manufacturer for Title 22 certification. Title 22 is the State of California’s stringent standard for treatment/disinfection of wastewater for non-potable reuse and ...

INTRODUCTIONBoth the Littleton/Englewood WWTP in Colorado, and the OWASA Mason Farm WWTP in North Carolina are being called upon to meet more stringent effluent nutrient limits in the future. The configurations and treatment processes at these two plants are quite different, but they are similar in that both require post-denitrification to meet future effluent limits. This paper will describe the ...

Abstract: Integrated pulp & paper mill with an aerated stabilization basin built in 1969 was so full of solids that the mill was having several problems: degradation of treatment performance, inability to access aerators for maintenance, safety concerns, high energy usage, severe short circuiting. The decision was made that #1 Lagoon must be cleaned out. Evaluation of all types of ...

Located in the Centre-du-Québec region, the Domaine du Lac Cristal campground was founded in 1970. This family business attracts thousands of visitors each year. With its 540 sites based in an attractive setting (beach, lake, golf course, etc.), the natural environment remains an important aspect to protect. During the year of 2003, the consulting firm HBA Expert Conseil was mandated to ...

ABSTRACTTo optimize the enhanced biological phosphorus (P) removal (EBPR) at the City of Las Vegas’ Water Pollution Control Facility, the effects of dissolved oxygen (DO) level, hydraulic retention time in aeration basin and the operation mode of UCT versus A2O on phosphorus removal performance were investigated. DO levels in the range of 0.5 to 3.5 mg/L in the aeration basin did not have ...

ABSTRACTIn the treatment of domestic wastewater, both biological and physical contaminant removal mechanisms must occur to facilitate compliance with NPDES permit discharge requirements. Static low density media (SLDM) filters can be used to perform both of these duties allowing for the consolidation of various unit operations into one component. Previous studies have shown that both organic and ...

The City of Springfield, Ohio, recently opened its 100 MGD enhanced high-rate treatment facility, designed to treat and disinfect combined high-volume stormwater and wastewater flows generated by wet-weather conditions. Utilizing EPA-documented Compressible Media Filtration technology – FlexFilter™ from WesTech – the system can also provide tertiary filtration and disinfection ...
